Ten foot two, eyes of blue …
The back cover features more turtle men, a yellow bus, and, in the distance, what seems to been an orbital elevator.
EITHER
It’s far enough into the future that we have orbital elevators and alien invasions, but bus designs have not moved on since about 1975
OR
It’s the world of the turtle men, and a technological version of convergent evolution means that they have independently arrived at the same bus designs as we have.

A rather delightful little review that establishes the cover has some passing similarity to the contents. Doesn’t make the art even a bit less horrid.

Lady Gag’s new bull-themed codpiece certainly raised eyebrows.

Nice review link, Dead Stuff. I enjoyed the review of SimEarth that followed too! I remember making some sad-faced planets in my day.

I’m not going to lie — I like the weird turtle owls on the back cover!

Am I the only one who looked at the bus on the back cover and exclaimed “The 200!”?
Sigh, I am aren’t I?

Gamera! Gamera!
Gamera is really neat.
Gamera is filled with meat.
We’ve been eating Gamera!

So which one of these, uh, folks is going to be doing the singing?
July 26th, 2012 at 1:06 pm
@Tom Noir. All of them, surely. It’s “Singers of Time”, not “Singer of Time”.

Well, the conductor in the back is doing his best, but it looks those two are not really willing to sing. Quite understandable actually, since the bull appears to have some serious case of cataract or glaucoma.

I actually read this. And the cover is believe it or not spot on…
It’s essentially a sci-fi adventure updated to Stephen Hawking’s physics.
